Japanese Straight perms uses new products and special irons
to straighten your curly, wavy, frizzy hair. For the best
results, the new technology and techniques require an experienced

The Japanese Straight Perm uses new products and special
iron to straighten your curly, wavy, frizzy hair. |

Q2: What's
the difference between the Japanese Straight Perm and a chemical
relaxer? |
Chemical
relaxers unfortunately do not straighten hair very well,
and they use chemical ingredients that leave the hair brittle,
dry, and unhealthy. The Japanese Straight Perm gives you
soft, silky, shiny, straight hair. And, you hair will be
healthier! |
| Q3: What's
the Cost? |
Including
a haircut, and Protein conditioning Treatment, the Japanese
Straight Perm should cost between $250 and up depending on
length. |
| Q4: How
much does it cost to re-touch? |
A
retouch is a harder process, which requires a lot more care,
thus the charge is the same. |
| Q5: When
I get the new growth treated, do I need to do all the hair
again? |
Only
the roots will need the Japanese Straight Perm treatment,
while the ends will not. The ends will receive a "protection" coating,
to avoid unnecessary contact with the perm solution. Also,
the end will get a special conditioning treatment. |
| Q6: What
about color-treated/highlighted/beached hair? |
The
most important consideration is your hair condition. Honestly
not all highlighted or bleached hair can be done. You must
go in for a consultation to get you hair checked. |
| Q7: I
already use a Chemical Relaxer. Can I still have this process
done for my hair? |
A
lot depends upon the condition of your hair. Unfortunately,
repeated use of a relaxer will usually cause significant
damage to the hair. If you've had very limited exposure to
a relaxer, it will be no problem to have this process done. |
| Q8: What
if I want more body, or other styles after I have the treatment
done? |
You'll
be able to style your hair any way you like. The good news
is, if you don't want to take the time to style your hair,
you'll still have smooth, straight hair. It's best to wait
about a week after the treatment before trying new styles. |
| Q9: Is
there a less expensive alternative? |
There
is another alternative, but there is no guarantee coming
out silky straight. |
| Q10: After
I have the Japanese Straight Perm, can I color or highlight
my hair? |
Yes,
you can color and highlight your hair after the treatment.
One important consideration, though that some color and highlight
processes can damage your hair more than you might expect.
To keep your hair healthy, use gentler products, and consider
getting only a few highlights, on the top, rather than all
over. |
| Q11: What
about short hair? |
Although
the process works for short hair, too, I recommend that you
hair be at least 8 inches long. As the roots grow out, longer
hair will have the weight to pull them straight for a while.
Short hair will be harder to style in the future. |
| Q12: Will
I still need to blow dry my hair after the treatment? |
Generally,
you can expect to let your hair air dry, with great results. |
| Q13: Does
this damage my hair? |
Blow
drying, brushing, and using a flat iron on a regular basis
are all damaging to your hair. After have a properly performed
Japanese Straight Perm, you won't need to use these strong
methods to style your hair the way you like. This way, over
time, and given the proper care, your hair is likely to get
healthier. Remember also that starting with healthy hair
makes a tremendous difference. Expect that your hair will
be as healthy after the process as when you first come to
the salon. This process is not meant to repair damaged hair.
Of course, any chemical treatment will have an effect
on your hair. This is why it's very important to only consider
using the best-quality products, in the right mix, with
the most up-to-date technique and procedures. To be sure
you only receive the best possible treatment. |
| Q14: Why
have some people had bad experiences with this procedures? |
The
Japanese Straight Perm is one of the most difficult procedure
to do. Experience is the most important for the specialist. |
| Q15: How
can I make an appointment? |
